The pore pressure around the wellbore happens to change variously as the fracturing fluid entering the pay zone. The change of pore pressure affects the stress-state and the fracturing pressure around the wellbore. In this paper, a new concept of the effective membrane pressure coefficient is presented according to the wall building capacity of the fracturing fluid, then the change of pore pressure around the wellbore is studied, and it is proven that the prediction model for fracturing pressure is improved.展开更多
文摘The accurate prediction of fracturing pressure for pay zone is the very important guidance to hydraulic fracturing design and operation. The pore pressure around the wellbore happens to change variously as the fracturing fluid entering the pay zone. The change of pore pressure affects the stress-state and the fracturing pressure around the wellbore. In this paper, a new concept of the effective membrane pressure coefficient is presented according to the wall building capacity of the fracturing fluid, then the change of pore pressure around the wellbore is studied, and it is proven that the prediction model for fracturing pressure is improved.
